I am actually starting to wrap my head around some of the basic concepts. It really stretches my comprehension, and I often need to reread each paragraph (sometimes even sentences) multiple times to penetrate what is even being said, but I do really appreciate the insights, and I am starting to get the ball rolling on this book. I like the Epicurean polemics I am encountering on simply chasing pleasure being wrong!

This is the most damn confusing book I’ve read in my entire life. The wordings confound me, and Plotinus is clearly much smarter than me. I hardly scrape by his distinctions of soul and essence, and struggle to understand the importance and implications of what he says.

This is rough sledding

Plontinus’s “On Beauty” was really good. Some striking similarities to Christian thought.
